Bawww'd when I read it. Fantastic guy. Hope the replacement will be good but Per will be sorely missed.
|
| |
i predict that one guy from porcupine tree
|
| |
Ahhhh this sucks.
|
| |
WHAAA!? Man that sucks. But it's not the biggest loss. They should try a new album without the keyboard, see how that turns out, then an album with a new one...mix it up a little.

lolol headline
|

I'm actually kind of glad about this. As much as I loved his parts on the work he did with them, they could definitely use someone more fitting for their older material.
|
| |

OH THE HUMANITY! How will I go on?
|
| |
dont
|
| |
bummer
|
| |
sucks but he can be replaced.
|
| |
but the gaping hole in my soul can't. I god died today.
|
| |
I loved his keyboard work on Ghost Reveries, particuarly The Grand Conjuration.
|
| |
i hope they find him soon! seems pretty careless
|
| |
wonarabbit being really fucking irritating itt
|
| |
cheer up everyone, listen to wolfmother!
|
| |
I lol'd Duderino.
|
| |
MOAR HAMMOND B3 PLZ
|
| |
This sucks.
|
| |
I hear Mike Portnoy's looking for work...
oh wait
|
| |
^ fucking win LepreCon lmao
|
| |
A shame, but I would be shocked if Mikael can't find someone at least equally good. It seems there's some Per haterz, so this might be a good thing...
|
| |
Thread just got LepreConned...
But seriously, this does suck, I mean there are plenty of good keyboardists out there who could do as fine a job, but whether they're right for the band or not is a different matter entirely.
|
| |
They should make me the new keyboardist. Good business move.
|
| |
THEY'RE OVER
|
| |
Ah man, what's up with that. He could play the keys and his harmonizing with Akerfeldt ruled, this sucks.
|
| |
THEY SHOULD AT LEEST CHANGE THER NAME, WUDNT B RITE OTHERWIZE RIP
|
| |
I assume by now they finished recording the new album, so Per might be on the new album then?
|
| |
Really loved his contributions to the group, but he's far from irreplaceable.
|
| |
well shit, i hope they find him
|
| |
I hope he isn't hurt or fell in a well or anything...
|
| |
The dude was awesome but I think they'd be fine without a keyboardist.
|
| |
Must've gotten lost in Harlequin Forest.
|
| |
^ ugh
|
| |
HAHA
|
| |
They should get the guy from alestorm
|
| |
Shame, Per was awesome; hope their replacement is just as good.
|
| |
not a big loss
|
| |
ALEX STARPOLI!!!!
On a serious note:
i predict that one guy from porcupine tree [2]
|
| |
THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!!!!
|
| |
organ solo on watershed
|
| |
 Oh well, I have confidence they'll find someone just as good, though I did like Per.
|
| |
...Opeth had a keyboardist?
|
| |
i predict that one guy from porcupine tree [3]
http://www.sputnikmusic.com/news.php?newsid=14227
Oh, and I wonder if they'll still do this collab with THE MIGHTY MIKE PORTNOY
|
| |
Is this the guy who's on their last two albums? Those are terrible anyway.
|
| |
If it's not any of the guitarists, drummer, or bassist I could careless.
|
| |
These guys just can't seem to keep a steady line-up.
|
| |
lol how ironic bloc
|
| |
again?
|
| |
I vote they get a guy named Martin.
|
| |
is Akerfeldt the only original member ?
|
| |
lol how ironic bloc
How is that ironic
|
| |
"is Akerfeldt the only original member ?"
Yes he is.Opeth have been "Akerfeldt and some other guys" for a while now, which is sad.
And Per was incredible.This is very sad news.
|
| |
sad
|
| |
Technically Mikael isn't even an original Opeth member. He joined his friends band Opeth and essentially took over the band.
|
| |
cmooooooooon asian teenager
|
| |
Yes?
|
| |
this asian girl in my piano class could take the spot.
|
| |
Maybe that girl from cthonic could fill the spot, or did she play bass? I don't know...
|
| |
*cue burden*
|
| |
Is Opeth even writing new material? Feels like they haven't moved since 2008.
|
| |
"Is Opeth even writing new material? Feels like they haven't moved since 2008."
New album due this fall..
|
| |
Idk, the only time i've heard the keyboard put to good use in one of their songs is the bass/keyboard line in the grand conjuration.
|
| |
That's a shame.
|
| |
Hmmmmmmm
|
| |
That's too bad, I like him.
Also, he wasn't really THAT much of a long-time member. He joined full time for GR.
|
| |
THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!!!!
ya cuz filthyborgir can't stand any bands without keyboards
|
| |
On record it may not hurt them that much but live he was pretty important when it came to backing vocals and additional headbanging.
|
| |
Lol.
|
| |
no more keys for these guys 
|
| |
itt: people pretend to care that opeth lost a keyboardist
|
| |
Lame as
|
| |
Uh...
|
| |
Well their only good song was a piano song so gg.
|
| |
^Second the guy that called for another Martin.
|
| |
I still miss de Farfalla's basswork. Man, Morningrise's bass was orgasmic it was so good...
On a more relevant note, Per's work, especially on Ghost Reveries, was really really good. I'm sad, man. I loved their keys-based stuff. But yeah, I'm betting Wilson steps in...
|
| |
this is bad news
|
| |
Wow, this stinks.
|
| |
good, their keyboards sucked
|
| |
crappy news. guy was pro.
|
| |
the title for this made me think that he either died or was simply misplaced as keyboardist's so often are
|
| |
No big deal, PER se.
|
| |
Damn, this sucks.
|
| |
Ah, that's a shame.
|
| |
That's shite..
I loved his moustache though.
|
| |
Definitely a bummer because I love this guy. I was introduced to his mad skills through Spiritual Beggars. Keyboard god.
|
| |
One of my favorite keyboardists in my favorite band, news blows. Really didn't see this coming at all.
|
| |
Oh well.
|
| |
As long as Akerfeldt remains, all is well.
|
| |
Beside some GR tracks, his keys werent that special, but his harmonizing really did rock.
|
| |
hope they just drop the kb all together
thisthisthisthisthisthisthisthisthisthisthisthis
when i read this, i said "good no keyboards from now on", but.....
the use of keyboards in Opeth is simply beyond me.
|
| |
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
|
| |
obviously will be 1 of the guys from Daft Punk
|
| |
Ouch this sucks, as much as I love the old Opeth I've come to enjoy the addition of the keys
|
| |
Opeth needs more bombast. bring in the guy from Children of bodom....or Nightwish or if you really wanna get crazy both. Now Opeth can add some much needed flair to their penetrating light/dark melodic to heavy song dynamics that has compelled the bands longevity.
|
| |
hope they just drop the kb all together
Pretty dumb statement right there. This sucks but keyboardist's are a dime-a-dozen these days.
|
| |
hope they just drop the kb all together
123123123123123123
|
| |
well shit, he was a good part of the band. Oh well, they don't need one
|
| |
the keys weren't really that effective other than on Damnation
who knows, maybe the new guy will bring better ideas to the table
|
| |
They should just get Dan Swano to fill in
|
| |
That's a shame. Guy ripped it up mad on the keys.
|
| |
NOOOOOOOOOOO! I will never get to meet him in person and comment his moustache
|
